Looking at a Case IH?
Population figures describe a model group, not the car in front of you.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. Before buying, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.
Is the Case IH fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Case IH model group: 4,199 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Case IH range is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 342% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 145 are declared SORN — 1 in 30 of the 4,344 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

How to read these numbers
Licensed means taxed and legal to use on the road at the end of the quarter. SORN means the keeper has declared it off the road — it still exists, but it is not in use. A model group's total is the best available proxy for how many survive, and a shrinking one means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply.
